Launch
Yesterday at the Sydney Opera House - Detours and Destinations was officially launched! Hoorah!
There were speeches made by Graeme West (Minister for Juvenile Justice), Richard Evans (CEO of the Sydney Opera House) and our very own TJ Eckleberg (Artistic Director of Shopfront). There was also a neat documentary made by the Opera House, raps sung by the participants and loads of people playing with the digital mash-up created by the young people involved.
Here are some photos from the launch and a few sneaky pics of the preparations and rehearsals that happened the day before.
Stikfas at the Opera House
